We've been well and truly ****ing had. Bielsa obviously sees something very few of us do. Been a **** window for us and this has desperation written all over it. Not been so underwhelmed with a signing in a long while
I'm pretty gutted tbh mate. Apparently there's players we've turned down because of the fee this window but seem happy to pay way over the odds for this ****ing headless chicken
Go on then....if nobody else will bite... He didn't snub us to join you. He was all signed up, photos done, medical done on a 7 million deal. A Swansea director then refused to pick up the phone and he was the one signature required to beat the deadline. He waited for the deadline to pass and then handed in his resignation. This was all done in January. He finished the season strongly. We ****ed it up and lost in the play offs. You ****ing idiots paid 18 million for him that summer. Swansea seen you coming to be fair. Now it seems we will pay 20-30 million for him. I hope it falls through. Bielsa sees something in him that I don't. We seem to specialise in wingers with no end product.
To be fair he does have an end product, he knows where the goal is. He just really ****ing struggles with the bit in the middle where he has to get past a defender
It is when we've pulled out if 3 deals around that figure as they were deemed overpriced, players far better than James
